Inline styles are not applied to beginning text in IE 9

[jessicab]

I an unable to apply inline styles to text at the beginning of a CKEditor when using IE9 in Windows 7. It seems to work fine in older versions of IE and in Firefox.

To recreate this go to the demo page ​http://nightly.ckeditor.com/7484/_samples/replacebyclass.html. If you highlight "This is" and try to apply the "Marker: yellow" from the styles drop down box, it won't apply the style. It seems to work if you are not selecting the first character in the CKEditor box.

Reproducible from CKEditor 3.6.4 rev. [7479] in IE9 only.

Expired on trunk.

This is not actually fixed as of the newest nightly build Revision number: 7568. I wasn't sure what you mean by "expired on trunk". Is this something that just won't be fixed since IE will have newer versions?

I have just tried this TC one more time and it worked. I have selected "This is", applied "Marker Yellow" style and it got applied in IE9.

Could you tell us how to make it not work? Could you perhaps provide screen cast?
Have you refreshed the cache before checking this TC?

Ok I have managed to reproduce this problem - with one line it sometimes works and sometimes not but if you add second line you should be able to reproduce this problem always.

All in all it turned out that this is a dup of #9097. TC is the same you have to start selection a little bit to the left of text.

The rev. mentioned in this ticket is invalid as I didn't know the key to reproduce the problem - you have to start selection a little bit to the left of text.
